I’m subscribed to Time Capsule through Photojojo. Twice a month, it emails me a few pictures that I uploaded this time last year. It’s a lot more meaningful than I expected it to be when I signed up. There’s something wistful, nostalgic, bittersweet about observing you-a-year-ago when that wasn’t what you were looking for. Going after a little time travel is one thing, but being sent a message of “hey, remember this?” is special, somehow.

With that in mind, I need an incentive to get more pictures uploaded in a timely fashion. Since this blog is the main reason I do so, I’m going to post a pile of pictures this week. Right now, every time I think of photos, I think of the backlog I have on Flickr waiting to be posted, and that’s just a perfect recipe for blog constipation. So what should I catch y’all up on first?

Michelle’s visit last month?

A knits round-up?

Or a pile of yarn?

If anyone votes before Wednesday, I shall do as the collective bids me. In the meantime, some of my favorite friend-photos from the last few months.

Mandy’s come to visit me twice now, Carisa. Time to step it up.

Gwen points at goats.

This frog decided I was her friend because I was warm. I don’t mind being used.

Obligatory belly shot.

Making Michael laugh is my favorite thing.

I took Michelle to three knitter events while she was visiting, and I think she maybe knit four rows. I’m contemplating confiscating her stash.

Yes, I love the captcha plugin that Michael found for me! You preload it with a list of good words and it generates the captchas off of those. (I’m always willing to add new words to the list, if you have suggestions.)

I think I’ve witnessed a bit of everything on the list. What would you have the most fun putting up first?

I’ve got a similar thing going with Everyday.me: each evening, it sends me tweets from one or two or more years ago that I tweeted on that date. (It probably works with other social media, but this is all I’ve authorized.) Sometimes it’s a great memory jog (“Oh, I remember that?”), but especially with personal replies, I can be left baffled.
